Travellers who stayed in Bologna near Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ) have said good things about Hotel EMI, Hotel Del Borgo and Villa Aretusi.
World-class cuisine is what Bologna does best. Nowhere in Italy, a country with considerable culinary heritage, is the food considered better than in this medieval gem.
Bolognese sauce of course originated here, but to try the real thing look out for ragú on the menu. Cold meats and cheeses are also exquisite. Make sure you save plenty of time for eating – the Bolognese like to savour their food, so a meal can last for hours.
Many of the best eateries and homemade ice cream shops can be found behind the mile upon mile of porticoed streets, now UNESCO World Heritage listed. The complex of medieval churches and buildings in cobbled Piazza Santo Stefano is a tranquil spot to explore. Climb one of the Two Towers nearby (not the one leaning at a startling angle) for spectacular views over this red-roofed city.
The focal point of Bologna is huge Piazza Maggiore, whose Santo Petronio church has an unimpressive, half-finished façade that doesn’t prepare you for its sheer scale inside. Fanning out from this square are the buildings of Europe’s oldest university, founded in 1088 and home to the city’s best museums.
Bologna accommodation on Booking.com ranges from small B&Bs to luxury hotels, all easily accessible from Bologna Airport just outside the city.
Lovely walking there. Great architecture. Many km of mostly pretty porticoes. Lovely squares. Good galleries and museums. Good food from market stalls and restaurants. Easy to visit nearby towns by train. We will be back.

Bologna is a lovely city with many historic buildings and museums and dozens of fabulous restaurants. It's also a convenient centre to reach other interesting Italian cities by a short rail journey. This time we visited Ferrara and Faenza. Last visit we had a day in Modena and a few days in Ravenna. Neither Venezia nor Firenze are too far for a day trip. Maybe next time though there's still Parma and Verona on the bucket list.

Everything is great about Bologna especially if you're a young person. Great food, not very expensive and mostly positive and friendly people. A lot of students in Giuseppe Verdi Plaza was great to see. There's plenty of cheap food that is high quality but even the high end restaurants are not very expensive. Nice architecture and everything is close together (train station, city center etc). I loved Bologna there's nothing not to like about it!

Very interesting city. Very walkable.
Very interesting city. Very walkable. The university area is fascinating as is the history of the town - underground canal system, oldest university, etc. It is slightly less busy that other major Italian cities. Great food and nice vibe with it still feeling like a university town (youthful). Had an especially good meal at Da Nello's near Piazza Maggiore. Lots of construction and restoration going on but it didn't really detract too much.

One of the most beautiful cities of Europe, the weather was great and there was a great crowd on the streets. The food n people are nice. You can find history in every corner.
We walked almost everywhere.
Had an eating tour which was very nice.. Go to Via Pescherie Vecchie, for sure you'll find a spot to dine:)
If you have few days you can take a tour to Ravenna to see Dante's tomb, the famous mosaics n have lunch at the Mercato Coperto.
I didn't get enough, sure will go back:)
Check in easy, we were able to leave bags before rooms were ready, air conditioning good in hot summer. Breakfast buffet style pastries and drinks - ok - might be nicer to find a local cafe but it was included in price and adequate if not exceptional. Helpful and friendly staff - sorted a taxi for trip to airport. All good. Good location to reach the main attractions of central Bologna. I managed to leave my phone cable and adapter in the room and hotel responded quickly to my query if it was there (sadly way too expensive to courier home)
The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the owner (Alessandro) was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend Milleventi Apartments for anyone visiting downtown of Bologna.
I have stayed at many of hotels/apartments but this was on the top of the list of best stays/experiences ever. Alessandro was very hospitable and there for every need of mine.
He helped us find a taxi at 3:00 am. and then he contacted us if we were arriving at the airport.
Alessandro thank you so much.

• The price is reasonable and affordable.
Hotel is in an excellent location, 2 minute walk from the main train station.
Travelling to other cities and to the airport was made very easy as the train station was so close.
I found the area safe and quiet and walked back to the hotel every night when it was dark and had no issues.
Staff were exceptional to deal with and not rude like I have found in some hotels in Italy.
Hotel is very clean...calm, relaxed atmosphere in the lobby.
Hot water for showering never ran out.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
Great hotel for young travellers, for all with young spirit. You can meet students from around world there, hang out in bar, workout in gym, pool is great for relaxing on hot summer days. Stuff is friendly and speaks good English. Distance from airport train Marconi Express is very good, it is on 5 mins from hotel, as well as Bologna Central Railway station which is good if you visit by train another cities. Distance from centre is ok, if you like walking it is not big deal, 15min...
The apartment was cozy, modern, comfortable, and in a great location. It had everything we needed for our four day stay in Bologna, plus more! The host allowed us to check in an hour early and was friendly/helpful. Transportation is at the street level. Quiet building with elevator. Secured property. Within walking distance of city centre. Great restaurants nearby. Half the cost of the 4 star hotel nearby. Highly recommended!
I stayed at Hotel Emi the night before my flight out of the Bologna Airport. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff was friendly. They arranged a taxi for me for the morning which made getting to the airport very easy. Also the pizza I ate in the restaurant at Hotel Emi might be the best pizza I have ever eaten. It's called the "Best Selling" and I can see why. Stay here and eat here. You will enjoy it.
A most elegant hotel, în the city centre. I liked the fact that there was no noise surrounding the hotel. The breakfast was diverse, with perfect coffee, fruit, croissant, cereals, etc, whatever you needed. The hotel is spacious, nota your typical small hotel room. The staff was friendly and helpful. My trip to Bologna was the last stay în Italy after Rome and Florence and I was not disappointed.
The location of this hotel is quite good, though a little far from the centre. But it's easily reachable on foot from Bologna Centrale, and once you work out the bus system, it's no problem to get to the Piazza Maggiore and other places of interest. The staff were always ready to help with special requests (luggage storage, cutlery etc.). And the room was comfortable.
This hotel is perfectly located in the centre of Bologna, near many restaurants, as well as the very fun University district. It was especially convenient to be able to come back to the hotel to rest during the day. Also, the two terraces offer beautiful views of the centre of Bologna. The staff was very helpful and the room was very clean!
The room was clean and comfortable. There was a open buffer breakfast with variation. The staff from the hotel picked me up with a shuttle in the night from the airport (€13). For me the price is totally fine. There is a bus station 300 m away from the hotel, where I could easily take a bus to the city centre of Bologna.
Perfect location. Spotless. Rooms good size for airport hotel. Great value…
Most exceptional was a real restaurant in an airport hotel. Really excellent cuisine , linen tablecloth, exceptionally efficient staff even when slammed during the dinner hour….
A wonderful surprise for the last night of our Italy trip….
Good central location between the Bologna Fair Grounds and city center. Easy to get taxi, Uber or Train as it is in front of Bologna Centrale. Staff was courteous hotel is modern. Great cost/benefit if you don’t mind walking 15 min to city center. Great restaurants less than 10 min walk away.
The room and bed were very comfortable indeed and the breakfast buffet worth the fairly hefty price tag, although it did get busy at times. The hotel is a stone's throw from Bologna Centrale station and super convenient. It was about a 10-minute walk into the city centre proper.
This boutique hotel is excellent on so many levels: super helpful staff; great location; comfortable rooms; terrific views of Bologna; and a truly magical terrace on the top floor (some rooms have terraces too). And all for a good value. This is my new favorite hotel in Bologna!
Very comfortable room, located within easy walking distance of the train station and 15 mins to the heart (the Towers) on Bologna City centre. The hotel, the City, a great experience. We stayed 4 days and used hotel as a base visit other parts of the region. We will return.
Small, cosy hotel very close to the airport. Large room, comfortable large bed. Good breakfast and excellent coffee. Friendly staff with very good English. The bus very close to the hotel will take you straight to Bologna city centre.
Location was perfect right across the street from Bologna Centrale Train Station which we used for day trips to Pisa/Florence and Venezia. Hotel was walking distance to Historic Center!
